My son has to dress up as an evacuee for a history day at school on tuesday. I am really struggling with what to do. The school has sent home a picture of some ideas but I don't have anything that remotely looks like it. Help... Diane

Hi, Cut off a pair of trousers to make long old fashioned shorts. White shirt and braces with a luggage tag tied around a button. Or an Oxfam plain grey jumper with an "obvious" darn. Gwynne

dianne my son is also dressing up this week. if you get the grey school shorts or cut the trousers down then a grey shirt and a grey wooly blazer, if you cant find one go to charity shops and get a v nect tank top. he needs grey school socks shoved down so they look like they havent got elastic in them. then make a small brown cardboard box with string for the gas mask and put it around his neck. good luck

Thanks, think I'll have to have a wander round the local charity shop on monday. School hasn't made it easy for me this time, can cope with egyptians, vikings etc., this is harder. Diane
